NZPFU supports Nurses' Union strike

Posted 26 Oct '22 under Featured News

Primary Health Care and Plunket nurses will be on strike tomorrow. Strike rallies will be held in more than two dozen locations around the country from 10am until 2pm on Thursday, 27 October 2022.

The NZPFU encourages off-duty members to join their NZNO comrades in their support for proper funding of Primary Health Care and for equal pay with those that work for Te Whata Ora.

Those out and about should make sure they head down to the local picket and event to show support.

In unity,
